Abstract

This research aims to develop computational visualization of the wave function and probability distribution of particles in a one dimensional infinite potential well. The wave function is obtained analytically from the time-independent Schrödinger equation and then normalized to give it probabilistic meaning. Numerical simulations are carried out using Python with the NumPy library for computation and Matplotlib for visualization, allowing manipulation of parameters such as box length and quantum number. The visualization results confirm the basic concepts of quantum mechanics, namely quantized energy levels, sinusoidal wave function forms with a specific number of nodes, and probability distributions that have several peaks and are always positive. The simulation also shows the correspondence between wave-function nodes and zero-probability points, as well as the increasing complexity of oscillations and variations in probability distributions as the quantum number increases. These findings are consistent with theoretical predictions and show that the computational approach is effective in visualizing abstract concepts in quantum mechanics, thereby clarifying the relationship between mathematical formulation and its physical interpretation.
